Understanding the structure of the pelvis and the muscles of the pelvic floor are not only important when working in the Pilates environment but extremely important for our overall health and wellbeing. Learn how these muscles are a key player of our Core, how to access and use them and how the pelvic floor connects to every system of our body.

In this workshop, we will dive into the anatomy and physiology of the pelvis, learn exercises to support our pelvic floor, discuss common issues and answer important questions relating to our pelvic floor.

Bring your curiosity and questions. This workshop is open for women of all ages and will include meditation, discussion and exercise. We are thrilled to be co-teaching this offering with Dr. Charmaine Quijano, a doctor of Physical Therapy with over 30 years of clinical experience and a dear friend. She is known in many circles as the “vagina whisperer” and brings extensive knowledge, humor, deep wisdom and reverence to her work. 

Lana Halvorsen has been teaching pilates and movement exercise for the last 35 years. This will be her 4th pelvic floor workshop and is excited to be co-teaching with Charmaine. Lana’s embodied approach to teaching and love of nuance is infectious and formidable.
